Fayette County Jail Roster
The Fayette County jail roster lists people currently held at the Fayette County Correctional Facility in Connersville, Indiana. You can search this inmate roster through the sheriff's official website or through state tools like the INjail Public Portal, which pulls live data from the facility and gives you name-based results at no cost.
Fayette County Quick Facts
Fayette County Jail Roster Search
The Fayette County Sheriff's Office runs the inmate search at co.fayette.in.us/county-jail/. You type a name and the system pulls up any current matches in the Fayette County jail roster. The search expects a full name in "FirstName LastName" format, spelled correctly. Partial names or nicknames won't return results.
The jail notes that records of arrest are not proof or indicators of guilt. That disclaimer matters. A name on the jail roster only means someone is in custody, not that they've been convicted of anything. Treat all results with that in mind. The roster shows who is currently booked, but it does not tell you the outcome of any charges.
If the name search on the county site doesn't give you what you need, the INjail Public Portal covers Fayette County as well. That statewide tool searches multiple Indiana county jails at once, so it can be helpful if you're not certain which county someone is held in.

How to Search the Fayette County Inmate Roster
Getting results from the jail roster search is simple if you follow the format. Use the first name followed by the last name, with a space between them. Do not add middle names, suffixes, or extra characters. The system is case-sensitive on some builds, so try standard capitalization first.
If your first search comes back empty, double-check the spelling. A single wrong letter will return no results. You can also try just the last name if the first name has multiple common spellings. Beyond that, the INjail Public Portal offers a broader search that spans Indiana counties and may catch results the county tool misses.
Keep in mind that the roster reflects who is in the jail at that moment. Releases, transfers, and new bookings happen around the clock. A person who appears in the morning may no longer be listed by the afternoon if they bonded out or were moved to another facility. Refresh your search if you need the most current status.
VINE Victim Notification for Fayette County Jail
Indiana uses the VINE system to help crime victims and the public track inmate custody status. VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. It sends automated alerts when an inmate in the Fayette County jail roster is released, transferred, or has a change in custody status.
You can register for VINE notifications through VINELink or by calling 1-866-959-VINE (8463). The service is free and available around the clock. You choose how you want to be notified, either by phone call, text, or email. Registration does not require a court case number, just the name or ID of the person you want to track.
This tool is used most often by crime victims and family members of victims who want to know when an offender leaves custody. But anyone can register. If you want to know the moment someone books or releases from the Fayette County Correctional Facility, VINE is the most reliable way to get that notice without constantly checking the roster.
State-Level Inmate Search Tools for Fayette County
Beyond the county jail roster, two state tools cover people held at higher levels or already transferred to state prison. The first is the INjail Public Portal, which covers county jails across Indiana including Fayette County. This portal is maintained by the state and reflects data submitted by participating county facilities.
The second tool is the Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator. This one covers people who have been sentenced and transferred to state prison. If someone was previously held at the Fayette County jail but is no longer on the county roster, they may have moved to a state facility. The IDOC tool can tell you where they are now and what facility holds them.
Using both tools together gives you the most complete picture. A person may start in the Fayette County jail roster, then move to IDOC custody after sentencing. Neither tool alone covers that full arc. Together, they do.
Public Records and Jail Roster Access in Indiana
Indiana's public records law is found in IC 5-14-3. Under that law, jail rosters and inmate records are generally public. You do not need to show a reason or file a formal request to view a basic jail roster. The information is made available because the public has an interest in knowing who law enforcement is holding.
Some details within a booking record may be withheld. Information that could endanger an inmate or an ongoing investigation may not be public. Medical records are not public. But the basic data, name, booking date, charges, and custody status, is available under Indiana law to anyone who asks.
Jail rosters are also covered under 210 IAC 3-1-6, which sets standards for county jail record-keeping. These rules require facilities to maintain accurate records and make certain data available to the public. The Fayette County Correctional Facility operates under these standards.
The Fayette County Sheriff's inmate search page lets you look up anyone currently on the Fayette County jail roster by entering a full name. The site also has links to jail policies and contact information for the correctional facility.
